We Will Not Lose One Child to the World
Some stories start in silence-and end in strength.Zoie Elise Montgomery is 14, quiet, labeled, and nearly invisible. She's drifting between church pews and school hallways-watching the world ignore girls like her until it's too late. But when tragedy hits too close to home, Zoie's silence breaks. The boy behind the gun wasn't a stranger. He was her classmate. He was her church drummer. He was one of them.Through the prayers of her G-Ma, the unexpected care of a counselor, and the raw wrestle of her own voice, Zoie starts writing down what no one else is willing to say out loud.This story is her cry-for safety, for purpose, for every child we risk losing to systems that label instead of listen.We Will Not Lose One Child to the World is more than a novel. It's a movement. And it starts with a single voice.You are seen. You are loved. You are never too lost to be found.

Acclaimed author Jeannine Atkins revisits her past in this "brave, searing" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) memoir-in-verse about memory, healing, and finding her voice as a writer, perfect for fans of Amber Smith and Speak. Night darkens the window to mirror. I'm back in my old bedroom. Six weeks after the start of her freshman year of college, Jeannine Atkins finds herself back in her childhood bedroom after an unimaginable trauma. Now home in Massachusetts, she's struggling to reclaim her life and her voice. Seeking comfort in the words of women, she turns to the lives and stories of Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou, and Emily Dickinson. Through raw and poignant letter-poems addressed to these literary giants, Jeannine finds that the process of writing and reflecting has become not only a means of survival but the catalyst for a burgeoning writing career. Inspired and ready to move forward, she enrolls in her state university, where she feeds her growing passion for writing in fiction seminars. But she finds that she's unable to escape the pervasive misogyny of her classmates and professors, who challenge her to assert her own voice against a backdrop of disbelief and minimalization. This time, though, Jeannine is not willing to go down without a fight. A searingly honest memoir told through gorgeous verse, Knocking on Windows stands as a beacon of hope and a celebration of the enduring spirit of survivors of sexual assault--and of writers.

The book shows how these children's courage, determination, perseverance, and hope defined the West for what it represents today. Between 1841 and 1884, more than 300,000 people-40,000 of whom were children-moved over land across North America in search for a new start and better life. The journey presented challenges at every turn, from the initial preparations to the months-long trip, and even after when the travelers reached their final destinations. Young emigrants played large roles throughout it all, with responsibilities ranging from hunting animals to gathering buffalo dung, or even caring for babies. Relying on real letters and memoirs of actual children on the trail, My Way West offers a fresh perspective so that readers, too, can smell the campfire smoke and see the dust kicked up by the wagon wheels. Learn about seven-year-old Benjamin Bonney from Illinois who was introduced to a new type of bread by Native Americans he met on the trail; how thirteen-year-old Heber McBride and his family from England were able to keep up with their traveling group; what ten-year-old Thocmetony of the Northern Paiute in Nevada thought of the travelers passing by her home; what the difficulties twelve-year-old Owen Bush met when his family, including his free African American father, finally reached Oregon; and more. Including a bibliography and gorgeously illustrated in vibrant, masterful papercut art, this book presents true stories plus quotes so that young readers can share the emigrant kids' triumphs and tragedies as they make their journey west.
